AIBU to expect sales folk to read my door notice?

[MannersCostNothing]

I have a large notice on my front door. It says "No sales calls" "No fuel sales" (amongst other stuff). The "other stuff" is presumably read and accepted, as we have no Betterware/Avon/religious callers.
The sales people, especially the fuel sales, apparently just can't resist. They ring the bell most days. I have tried pointing to the sign and asking if they can read. I have had - "Sorry, I'm dyslexic"; "I didn't think you meant it"; "Yes, but this offer is so great I had to tell you anyway", amongst others:- ("Miserable bitch, just thought I would ring the doorbell to piss you off"!!!!!! - oh yes, you are soooo going to get my business, and I've seen your badge)
I know that folks have to make a living, but surely the door notice should indicate that I am really not interested? Why do these people keep ignoring my best efforts at saving their and my time? Their repeated calls really do challenge me to disprove the nickname
Does anyone else get this hassle, or am I just a magnet for timewasting tossers?

sleepyeyes - ooh yes, it is so hard for me to leave a knocked door unanswered. Those debates with the religious callers - I do miss them, but it is better for me if they don't happen, quite honestly. I so nearly posted a religious no-no. Am learning!
Hehe - bet you all want to know what the religious no-no was?

LOL since you mentioned it....
I've been quite surprised at there lack of bible knowledge at time, love the look of on there face when they realize I might be nippy wee godless soul but I have quite an extensive knowledge of the bible and excellent debating skills.
I went to a very strict old fashioned catholic school for a year.

can your dog get out of the garden? If i spot a cold caller/ some one suspicious on my street i just let my extremly barky ( but soft as shit) dog out to bark to his hearts content! v.v rarely do they make it through the gate! hth!

sleepyeyes - oh the religious callers. Debates, yes? do tell?

Manners I've had to tell one very ernest young guy about Noah's arch (he knew the story just not all of it) he didn't realize it was judgement from god.
Another pitched up on my door and started going on about the after-life and if I believed was very strange he wasn't willing at that point to admit that he was from a certain religious group was almost trying to lure me into a scientific debate before he did the 'big revel' very strange I stood on my door step 10am in my grotty joggies and t-shirt with grotty hair (I had got up early to deep clean the house) and was very surprised that not only could I debate scientific theology but also dodgy religious theology. I took R.E and Philosophy Higher and my R.E teacher and I were quite notorious for our sparing. I adored him one of the best teachers I ever had.
I had previously lived in a Village that had a big scientology presence, I kept up the practice with them.

Over the years I have found the door stop religious callers are very weak on there knowledge of the old testament compared to the new testament. I use this at my advantage.

I'm not an atheist, but I also believe in a lot of science principles and cant stand people trying to force there creationist or alien nations views onto me. Especially when I'm in my own home minding my own business!
